Guilt and Regret
41.

My sister's wedding.
I didn't go -
I didn't like her and her hubby
(dead, now, by setting fire to himself)
was a bit of a tosser
but Dad went; stayed overnight
while I (unknown to him)
had a wild party.
Some lads turned up,
invited by friends of friends of friends
and smashed the house
burned my motorcycle,
stole the house keys
while Mike, a good friend,
smashed open the bathroom door
to save a girl from killing herself
(she was putting on makeup)
and I got off
with the wrong girl.
